What is in Bubble Bath?

Chances are you have almost everything you need in your kitchen!

• Liquid Glycerin –  I like to use a clear odorless glycerin. It helps to keep your bubbles lasting longer.
• Unscented Dish Soap – Often labeled free and clear. You can also use liquid Castile soap.
• Essential Oil – Any essential oil that suits your senses works well in this recipe. Rose, eucalyptus, mint, lavender, lilac, orange, clove, grapefruit. The options are endless!
• Salt – This ingredient is optional, and you can use any variety of salt you chose. Pink Himalayan salt is said to reduce fatigue and stress in studies.

Tools You Need

• Measuring Cups
• Bottle with Lid

How to Make Homemade Bubble Bath

1. Add liquid glycerin, dish soap and optional salt to bottle.
2. Add essential oil (I start with 10 drops) to preference.
3. Add lid and shake vigorously to combine.

How to Store

Bubble Bath should be stored in a sealed container or jar and at room temperature. It can typically last several months. 

To Gift

Use pretty bottles and add a ribbon and label or Christmas Gift Tag. You can add a little swag of greenery as well.

How Often Can I use Bubble Bath?

Most studies say that not only are bubble baths enjoyable, but they help to relieve stress and help you relax along with many other possible health benefits.

With this homemade bubble bath, you don’t have to worry about any extra additives or chemicals. The best source for this question though is your own doctor, but in most cases it is safe to take a bath at least once a week. Be sure to drink plenty of water and moisture well after you get out.
